My allergies have been really kicking in lately. All of the pollen that must be in the air right now. So I've been really sick. And I shouldn't blog while I'm sick. I was horrible to work with also.
My boss told me about something that was on Oprah called a NETI POT. It looks kind of gross. I haven't done it yet but I'm thinking about it. I guess you squirt warm salt water up your nose through one nostril and it goes up and around through your sinuses and comes out the other nostril, and cleans you all out. Curious. It kind of makes sense. I'm pretty sure it's a mess up in my nose. I guess you don't have to take meds then as it gets rid of all of the pollen. I just wonder if there is a down-side? Other than squirting water you your nose of course.

Other than it's on the weird side of normal? :)
I don't know; I use one when my sinuses get congested, and every once in a while when I feel like I need to.
It actually feels kind of good, and it cleans out your tear ducts too.
I think there's an article on wikipedia about it - I think it's called "nasal irrigation".
A guy I work with who has really bad allergies tried it and said it worked so I'm going to have to try it.
Did you try it out? What did you think?
I did try it. I didn't buy one however, I used a cheap bike water bottle that was free and I didn't like the design enough for use on my bike..
It did clean me out for a while but my nose started to run not long after. I think I must have had a cold, and I thought it was just allergies. I think I was suffering from both. I'm better now however. It's probably a good thing to do from time to time.
